With versatile washes and fits, denim overalls no longer have to look frumpy or child-like. Here are some easy tips to look chic in this blue jean get up.

1. Wash: Make sure the color works for your skin tone. Wearing a certain rinse of denim jeans may look a lot different once the fabric is extended to your upper half.

2. Fit: This type of garment will skim your thighs, butt; hips and tummy. Make sure the fit works in all of these areas.

3. Fabric: Use the same rule as you would regularly with jeans. You want to go for a fabric that’s stiff or loose enough for your body type. I’ve opted for a not-so-stiff style that will give and allow my curves to breathe.

4: Versatility: Overalls can easily come off as painter’s or gardener’s only attire. It’s more ideal to be able to dress them up or down. Make sure yours look great with pumps, sandals, flats and even boots. More bang for your buck is always key!

5: Adjustable: A good pair of overalls is like a good bra. Make sure the straps are easily adjustable. This will allow for the perfect fit and make them more relaxed as needed.
